Buffalo's Sleepy Lover.
From The BufoLo Courier.


A iudicrous case of sonambulism occurred on
the East side the other night. presumably
inexperienced youth had the felicity of escort
ing a blushing and good-looking damsel TO
a party He was so deeply affected by this cil.-
cumstance that his rest was troubled for sew
eral succeeding nights, and awake or asleep her
bright smile haunted him still. So things went
on until on the night in question he surprised
the neighborhood in which he resided by rising
from his downy couch, donning his pantaloons,
and sallying forth, barefooted never stopping
until he reached the abode OF his anamorata.
The he'll summons was answered by pater
familias. but with sonambulistic nonchalance
and simplicity the troubled one bluntly in
qured if the lady would accompany him to the
party Though startled by the appearance pre-
sented by his lightly clad visitor, the old gentle
man, being an intelligent as well as a kind
hearted person comprehended the situation at
a glance, and compassionately took the young
man into the shelter of his comfortable dwell
lug. The feelings Of the knight Grant on re-
covering consciousness can be better imagined
than described.

A Merited Reproof on Ball Room
Floor.

The Waterbury american, in an editorial on
the indulgence of mild profanity by fashionable
young ladies of New York, relates strange
story about Hartford belle who was addicted
to the same practice.
In Hartford says the american, ''there
lived, not many years ago, q very charming
young girl who was belle in one of the best so
cial sets of that staid CITY, and in whom, never
theless. was tolerated by everybody the instant
use of language more than bordering on the pro

ball in Hartford it CHANGED that Miss x was
waltzing with a student from Yale, who was not
aware of her popularity. She stopped him sud

to her head, and exclaimed: Damn my back
hair. It's coming down. Her partner drew
himself up in Bowery fashion cooked his head
to one side and replied with slow swagger.

cient, Miss did not swear again that evening.
But why should the reproof have been left to a
stranger? Her friends had grown by degrees to
tolerate her swearing. 1t is the old case of ia

Odd Herr krupp.

The following stories of the late Herr
Krupp are curious: 1t was a standing
order to all those who surrounded or
approached him that the word death
was never to be mentioned or referred
to in conversation within the precincts
of his great establishment. Some wears
ago a relation of his wife's came to STAY
with him, and was taken suddenly i'll
and died. When Krupp heard of it he
fled Immediately to the neighboring
town of Dusseldorf, and would not re-
turn until after his relation had been
duly buried. This very naturally led to
scene with his wife, the result being
that they separated. Mrs. Krupp went
to live at Dresden, and not even the en-
treaties of their son prevailed on Herr
Krupp to see her before he died. The
same stubborness was shown by him
when his son Fritz, who contested the
Parliamentary borough ESSEN at the
last general election, in the interest of
the Government. was defeated by the
''ultra" or '.clericaln party. Herr
Krupp issued an edict that no employee
should take into his cottage or read the
papers of the Ultramontane party. A
few days after this edict a poor work
man being found wrapping up his
''butterbrod" in a sheet of this journal
was instantly dismissed. London Truth.
